Ion producing null result

Question

I am having trouble receiving data from my API call using Ion. I am working through an Udacity tutorial that uses a bunch of boilerplate code to receive the data from the API. I wanted to go a different route - primarily to learn - and use Ion to make my network request.

Things I have done:

1. Altered the context argument of Ion call
2. Validated the url of the API call in an internet browser
3. Placed Ion result inside an if statement to prevent app from crashing if result is null
4. Added setLogging to Ion request
5. Added Network Permission in AndroidManifest

Unfortunately, I am still receiving nothing in the Android Monitor.
